This is a great way to gain more control over your dog at home, on walks, outside in public, and even inside stores.

About Our Trainer
Hi I'm Chris Brown,
Owner of Clean Finish Canine and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with seven years of experience working beside some of the best Dog Trainers in the country. ln 2016 I completed the intensive 2O-week Tom Rose School and went on to study at Tarheel Canine where I fine tuned my training abilities in the areas of personal protection, scent work and obedience.
After training over a hundred dogs, I took a six-month position working beside a well known Dog Trainer at an exclusive training facility in Asheville, NC. There, I mastered skills in off leash training, advanced obedience, behavior modification and problem solving.
I am passionate about providing dog owners with the knowledge and skills to help create more well mannered dogs and have developed a reputation for being able to connect with dogs and plan and implement effective training solutions.
I look forward to helping you enjoy your dog more,
Chris
Foundations of Dog Training
Timing
​
A dog's understanding of the connection between cause and effect occurs in less than 1.3 seconds. lf you are not marking with a 'good" for a wanted behavior or a "no" for an unwanted behavior in that short period of time, your dog will have a hard time understanding you. Just remember dog's live in the moment.
​
Consistency
​
The ability for your dog to learn a behavior through you being clear and concise every time. Consistency can be one of the most difficult parts of training, but it creates better communication and less confusion for your dog. For example, if your dog is usually allowed on furniture, but when the football game is on he's not, this is sending mixed messages.
​
Motivation
Rewarding the desirable behaviors and connecting the undesirable behaviors. When you are training your dog its important to ask yourself: did he perform a certain task? Keep in mind your dog may try to get his way because it's worked in the past, but the more consistent you are with positive reinforcements and negative reinforcements the less likely he will be to repeat bad habits. The rewards can be treats, toys, petting, or something else specific to your dog's drive. The corrections can be anything from a leash pop, a bonker, or an e-collar, but try to balance your level of praise with their quantity of service.
